- Undated (ca. 1793-1795) Kentucky Token. W-8805. Rarity-6. Copper. Engrailed Edge, Thick Reeding. MS-62 BN (PCGS). 152.2 grains. This satiny and tight example exhibits considerable semi-prooflike "flash" in the fields as the surfaces dip into a light. Pretty iridescent undertones of cobalt blue and pinkish-apricot enhance otherwise dominant medium brown patina, the reverse also with splashes of olive-copper. A spidery die crack extends out in several directions from the scroll at central obverse, but the inscription OUR CAUSE IS JUST is crisp. Sharply struck overall, in fact, this is a lovely example of a scarce Kentucky token variant. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 617.
